Transposing the keyboard in semitone
steps (Transpose)
Transpose changes keyboard pitch in units of semitones (-5–
+6 semitones).
This function is useful when you play transposed instru-
ments such as trumpet or clarinet following a printed score.
<Procedure>
❶ Press [TRANSPOSE] to light indicator.
This turns Transpose on.
❷ While holding down [TRANSPOSE], press [+OCT] or
[-OCT] to transpose the keyboard.
Pressing [+OCT] once while holding down [TRANSPOSE]
will raise the keyboard one semitone. Pressing [-OCT] once
while holding down [TRANSPOSE] will lower the keyboard
one semitone.
The specified Transpose setting will be added to the Octave
Shift value. For example, if you hold down [TRANSPOSE]
and press [+OCT] once to raise the keyboard a semitone, the
display will indicate “CENTER:C#4.” So when C4 is pressed,
the C#4 note will sound.
❸ To turn off Transpose, press [TRANSPOSE] once again
so that its indicator goes off.
The Transpose setting you make will be maintained.
✳ The Transpose setting you make here will also change
the Transpose Value parameter (SYSTEM/Setup/
Setup).
✳ The setting you make will be maintained even if you
select a different Patch, Performance or Rhythm Set, or
turn the power off.
If ‘stuck’ notes occur or a note does not
sound (Panic)
If a note played on the XP-80 or from an external device
“locks” or keeps sounding and you can’t shut it off, hit the
Panic button. Do the same if a note does not sound.
When ‘stuck’ notes occur
<Procedure>
❶ Press [SHIFT] and [EXIT] at the same time.
MIDI messages for Note Off and Hold Off will be transmit-
ted to the Parts (MIDI channels) receiving Note On/Hold
On messages.
❷ The display will indicate “Muting....” while the Panic
function is being executed. When this message goes
off, you can start playing.
When a note does not sound
❶ Press [SHIFT] and [EXIT] at the same time for more
than a second.
MIDI messages for Volume (127), All Note Off, Pitch Bend
(center), Channel Aftertouch (0), Modulation (0), and Hold 1
(0) will be transmitted to all Parts (MIDI channels).
❷ The display will indicate “Transmitting...” while the
Panic function is being executed. When this message
goes off, you can start playing.
